Who we work best with

Built for people with more to manage

We deliberately limit the number of clients we work with. That's what allows us to give each one the attention this kind of work actually requires.

i.

High-Income Professionals

Executives, business owners, and senior professionals whose income, equity, and tax situation demand a coordinated strategy, not piecemeal advice.

ii.

Growing Families

Families navigating competing priorities like college savings, wealth building, and tax management, who want one integrated plan instead of disconnected accounts.

iii.

Pre- & In-Retirement

Those approaching or in retirement who want clarity and control over income, taxes, and legacy, not just a portfolio to watch.

What we look for first

Most plans are built to grow wealth.
Few are built to protect it.

The risks that quietly erode, or permanently destroy, a portfolio are rarely the ones investors are watching. At Blackshire, our first conversation is always about what could go wrong.

What we do

A more complete approach to wealth

Most advisors focus primarily on managing investments. We focus on the decisions that actually drive long-term outcomes.

i.

Investment Management

Low-cost, diversified portfolios aligned to your goals, not to a product shelf or commission structure.

ii.

Tax-Aware Planning

Roth conversions, IRMAA strategy, and tax-loss harvesting, woven into every decision, not treated as an afterthought.

iii.

Retirement Income

A clear strategy for how and when to draw from each account, so your money lasts as long as you do.

iv.

Estate Planning

Coordinated with your attorney, built to minimize tax friction and preserve your intent across generations.

v.

Equity Compensation

RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and ESPPs. Modeled, taxed, and timed so your upside actually stays yours.

vi.

Cash Flow & Debt

Structuring income, debt, and liquidity so your balance sheet is an asset, not a source of anxiety.

vii.

Business Owner Planning

Retirement plans, exit strategy, and compensation design for founders and principals building long-term.

viii.

Ongoing Decision-Making

Life changes. We stay engaged, adapting your plan as your income, family, and goals evolve.

The goal isn't complexity. It's clarity. So you can make confident decisions without second-guessing every move.
